The Fine Arts Center is pleased to announce our matching donation campaign - Double It. Thanks to the generosity of two major FAC donors, we have the incredible opportunity to raise a significant amount of money to support the students of the Fine Arts Center.

From now until Friday, March 17, every dollar up to $20,000 donated to the Double It campaign will be matched by our donors. This is our chance to add significant value to the students’ educational experience at the FAC!

HOW TO PARTICIPATE IN THE DOUBLE IT CAMPAIGN:

1. Go to facpartners.org/doubleit
2. Learn how your donation will enhance the educational experiences of our students.
3. Click on DONATE NOW to donate online, or send in a check to the school.
4. Be sure to indicate in the comment section of the online donation portal, or in the memo of your check, "DOUBLE IT DONATION."

A fresh crop of young talent will go head-to-head in a final this March to decide who will advance as the state representative for the National competition!

Fine Arts Center Family:

We are excited to announce our first annual downtown showcase titled, "Elevate." Please click on the picture for full details. This event is designed to raise awareness in the community about our students and programs, with all proceeds going to the Fine Arts Center pARTners. The Partners work tirelessly to support our students through the funding of Artist Residencies and Scholarships, as well as through cultivating partnerships in the community that enhance our students' pre-professional training.

Please support Elevate by purchasing tickets, sponsoring the event, and/or sharing the event with other arts supporters. We want to fill the Gunter Theatre with arts advocates who resonate with the mission, vision, and core values of our school. Let's work together to ensure that the Fine Arts Center continues to be a life-changing experience for our students - past, present, and future!

Thank you for spoiling the FAC faculty and staff today!

It was Taco Takeout Tuesday today at the FAC! Our faculty and staff enjoyed a yummy lunch from Salsaritas! 💕

Congratulations to our FAC students who auditioned and made the SC All-County, Region, and All-State bands!

Thank you to all of the bus drivers who provide transportation for our FAC students from all over the district. We would not be able to reach so many students without you!

We are incredibly lucky to have Mrs. Gloria Collins as our guidance counselor . Through it all, she remains steadfast for our students and faculty. ❤️

Students and parents, leave Mrs. Collins some words of appreciation below.
